Description

Bizuno RESTful Sales Tax for WooCommerce calculates sales tax in real time during cart and checkout by sending the order address to your Bizuno ERP and applying the rate it returns.

Tax is only calculated for the states (nexus) you configure, so you stay in control of where tax applies. The plugin caches rates per request to keep checkout fast.

Features

  • Real-time sales-tax rates from your Bizuno ERP at cart and checkout.
  • Nexus control — only calculate tax for the states you select.
  • Works with self-hosted Bizuno or PhreeSoft Cloud.
  • WooCommerce High-Performance Order Storage (HPOS) compatible.
  • No tax tables to maintain in WooCommerce — rates come from Bizuno.

External services

To calculate tax, this plugin connects to the Bizuno ERP server that you configure under Settings Bizuno General (your own self-hosted Bizuno instance or PhreeSoft Cloud). No data is sent until you enable tax calculation and a customer reaches a taxable cart/checkout in one of your nexus states.

For each calculation it sends, to your configured server’s ?bizRt=portal/api/getSalesTax endpoint, the data needed to determine the rate: the cart total, the shipping/freight amount, and the customer’s city, state, ZIP/postal code and country. The server returns the sales-tax amount and rate.

If you use PhreeSoft Cloud as your Bizuno server, that service is operated by PhreeSoft, Inc.:

  • https://www.phreesoft.com
  • https://www.bizuno.com

If you self-host Bizuno, requests go only to the server URL you enter; no PhreeSoft service is contacted.

  1. Install and activate Bizuno RESTful Sales Tax for WooCommerce from the WordPress Plugins screen. WooCommerce must be installed and active.
  2. Go to Settings Bizuno General and enter your connection details: Server URL, REST user name, password and API token (from your Bizuno instance).
  3. Open the Sales Tax settings tab, enable tax calculation, and select the nexus states where tax should apply.
  4. Save. Sales tax is now calculated at cart and checkout for customers in your nexus states.
How is the tax rate determined?

At cart/checkout the plugin sends the order total, shipping amount, and the customer’s city, state, ZIP and country to your Bizuno ERP, which returns the applicable rate.

Do I still need WooCommerce tax tables?

No. Rates come from Bizuno, so you do not maintain tax tables in WooCommerce.

Which locations are supported?

Tax is calculated for the nexus states you configure. United States ZIP-based rates are supported today.

Do I need a Bizuno account or server?

Yes. You need a reachable Bizuno instance (self-hosted or PhreeSoft Cloud) and its connection credentials.
